The MANGLED TORSOS reissue CD features their "Anatomia Reformata" 7" EP as bonus tracks. Brand new cover art and layout by Patrick Wentz (the band's drummer). For those unaware of this hideous gem that was originally released in 1994, it's Death Metal with the ocassional slow-to-mid paced sections and a grinding vibe, like some sort of Pungent Stench/Blood meets Autopsy with some Demilich-esque vocals.

BÄDR VOGU signs to Memento Mori for the release of "Exitium", their debut full-length CD, previously available as pay-per-download through the band's bandcamp site only. Sludge/Doom with a crustie edge like some kind of mix of Eyehategod, Amebix, Black Sabbath, Morne and Brainoil. Release date is set for June 2012. You can listen to one of the songs here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wPW4uWarf0

---------------------------------------------------------

Memento Mori is pleased to welcome a new band to our ranks: APOTHECARY, Death/Doom from Denmark. The band is currently working on the songs that will appear on their debut full-length CD, due to be out in the 2nd half of 2012. You can listen to their 2011 promo tape here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Apothecary/165264943512059 (no need to have a Facebook account, just click on the bandpage link on the left side)

---------------------------------------------------------

Let's all welcome a new member in the Memento Mori family: NECROVEN. Old school Death Metal in the ancient U.S. tradition for fans of the very early recordings of Immolation, Goreaphobia, Deteriorot or Morta Skuld. Debut full-length CD due to be out in the 2nd half of 2012. In the meantime check out a song off the "Perpetual Scorn" demo, due to be out on tape through Filthy Cave in some 2-3 months, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yp6Ic52P13Y

BURIAL - Relinquished Souls CD [MEMENTO-IX]
Official reissue of the 1993 album featuring the "Frigid Cold" demo as bonus tracks. Will also be available as a limited CD + t-shirt pack.
More info soon.

RIGOR SARDONICOUS - Ego Diligio Vos CD [MEMENTO-X]
The brand new full-length by the U.S. masters of über-slow, lifeless and excruciating Death/Doom. Will also be available as a limited CD + t-shirt pack.
More info soon.

- The two brand new releases on Memento Mori are already available through the online store (www.memento-mori.es/store.php) :
BURIAL - Relinquished Souls CD [MEMENTO-IX]
RIGOR SARDONICOUS - Ego Diligio Vos CD [MEMENTO-X]
That's only the regular edition, though. Go to chapter 2 of this post to find out more about this.

- The Danes APOTHECARY will hit the studio in the next few weeks to start with the recording of their debut full-length CD. No title and no release date have been set yet, but you can be 101% positive that their own brand of Death/Doom will please all fans of Coffins, Autopsy, Hooded Menace, Symphony Of Grief and other past/current bands alike.

- The Spaniards ATARAXY will soon hit the studio to start recording their debut full-length CD. Again at Moontower Studios and again with Javier Felez (Graveyard, Of Darkness...) behind the board, the follow-up to their critically aclaimed "Curse of the Requiem Mass" MCD will be out in September 2012. No title has been set yet.

- NECROVEN's debut full-length CD is already recorded and will be mastered by Javier Felez at Moontower Studios next month. No release date has been set yet and the title will be unveiled soon. Fans of the ancient U.S. brutality (Immolation, Deteriorot, Goreaphobia...) will be surprised!!

- The title for the upcoming OPHIS / OFFICIUM TRISTE split CD is now unveiled: "Immersed". The CD will feature 2 brand new songs by each band for a total running time of 40 minutes approx. Doom/Death at its very best!!

Most of you probably didn't notice a new sub-section, called "Merchandising", at the online store. Well, this is what that's about...

From now on, each and every release on Memento Mori will also be available as a limited and especially priced CD + T-SHIRT pack. All t-shirts will also be available to be purchased separately. Available sizes will be S/M/L/XL and all of them will feature a 2-sided print on black, top quality shirt.

The first two CD + T-SHIRT packs (BURIAL and RIGOR SARDONICOUS) will be available later this month or early April.

Regarding our previous releases, we will definitely print t-shirts for most of them. For now, an ACROSTICHON t-shirt is already confirmed and getting designed as we speak.

We're also planning a Memento Mori t-shirt (1-sided print). It'll be available to be purchased separately or combined with any Memento Mori release as an especially priced pack.

YOU WANT MERCH... YOU'VE GOT MERCH!!!

3.- Distro update

This is the list of stuff that arrived at the online store (www.memento-mori.es/store.php) in February. Underlined, the sub-section where you can find each title:

- The title for the upcoming debut full-length CD from ATARAXY has been unveiled: "Revelations of the Ethereal". Visit the band's brand new bandcamp site and listen to a couple songs off the album: http://ataraxymuerte.bandcamp.com
Both this and NECROVEN's debut full-length CD, "Worship of Humiliation", have a release date of mid-to-late September.

- "Immersed", the OFFICIUM TRISTE / OPHIS split CD, will be taken to press on monday, so it'll be out and ready to ship between June 20th and 25th. Mastered by Greg Chandler (vocals/guitar from Esoteric) at Priory Studios, the album will feature two lenghty and exclusive tracks from each band. 40 minutes of superior Doom/Death for both melancholy and grief advocates.

- Due to some good delay in the layout process, the release date for BÄDR VOGU's debut full-length CD entitled "Exitium", has been put off indefinitely. I'm really sorry that I can't give an accurate timeline, but this is something that's out of my hand.

- The BURIAL t-shirt is finally available at the online store. It can be purchased separately or as part of a limited and especially priced CD + t-shirt pack.

- Last but not least, the price for the RIGOR SARDONICOUS t-shirt and CD + t-shirt pack has been temporarily brought down to only 10 EURO (t-shirt) and 15 EURO (CD + t-shirt). Make the most of this opportunity while it lasts!!!!
